Yes, there are old parts on this bike. I have the paper work. Motor is 55, Gear box/tranny and frame is 56. That makes a vintage motorcycle in my book. New parts purchased for an RE to include wheels, tires, custom gas tank, handlebars, muffler, chain guard, carb, rear shocks, rear fender. I've never said it was original untouched unmodified bike. Frame off build.

That motor looks like a late model 500cc. It appears to have more fins on the cylinder than an early one. The swing arm looks to be square not round like original. The primary is late model kickstart. Looks very nice but far from original in my opinion. ERC

Don't care for the shocks but i really love the look overall. Nice one rvcycle guy!Roverman.

Thanks Rover. I don't care for them either but they came on the bike when I bought it so until I find something else that I like to replace them, there they will stay. Functional but not period enough...
